## Indications for use
The Vericore Abutment is intended for use as an accessory to an endosseous implant to support a prosthetic device in a partially or completely endentulous patient. It is intended for use to support single and multiple tooth prosthesis, in the mandible or maxilla. The prosthesis can be cement retained to the abutment. The abutment screw is intended to secure the abutment to the endosseous implant. The abutment is placed over the implant and is mounted on to the implant with an abutment screw; an abutment adaptor will be added between the implant and the abutment. The abutment adaptor is intended to interface between the abutment and the implant allowing the abutment to meet with and be sealed to the parts of the implant that can not be milled into the abutment. This device is compatible with the following manufacturers' implant systems: Nobel Biocare, Southern Trilock. This device may be used in an early load situation, but is dependent on the specific implant system and protocol used by the dental professional. Also highly angled abutments (i.e. 28 degrees) on implants with diameters less than 4 mm are intended for the anterior region of the mouth and are not intended for the posterior region due to limited strength of the implant. Replace- Narrow (3.5mm), Regular (4.3mm), Wide (5.0mm) and 6mm Southern Trilock - Narrow (3.5rrm), Regular (4.3nmm) and Wide (5.0mm)
